She happened to meet a widower raising two children, ages 6 and 8. They needed a mother. The two parents decided to put the families together, but to do so, Audrey who had always lived in the city, had to move to her new husband's ranch in an isolated Colorado Valley.
This book is about how she suddenly became a ranch hand and stepmother, and her adventures in doing so. Lots of mistakes; lots of laughs.
